3 tips to find the best women’s gumboots
- Focus on styles that suit when and where you’ll wear them. For example, an ankle-length gumboot can be great for casual or everyday wear, while a calf-length style is handy for gardening and a knee-high style is ideal for when you want as much coverage as possible against wet weather.
- Consider the tread. Rainy weather can make it easier to slip over, whether it’s muddy ground or pavement. So it’s always a good idea to get details on the soles, or at least test them out when you get them.
- Check sizing details. Some wellies could be a size up or down from the shoes you usually wear, because of the design. Most brands will note these variations so you can check before you buy a pair. If in doubt, you can always ask (or check the return policy).
